TNA Is Back On Canadian TV

They didn’t tell us how many years, but TNA and the Fight Network just announced that they’ve signed a multi-year deal to bring Impact and some of the company’s other shows back to Canadian television. Since TNA’s relationship with Spike TV ended, there was no way to see Impact up here aside from torrents if you knew where to look or the YouTube thing they eventually set up which I doubt a lot of people knew about.

I’m interested to see what if anything there will be in terms of replays. Fight Network tends to run most things several times throughout the week which can be convenient, but I’ve also seen TNA and Spike try to force people into a certain time slot for the sake of ratings. Hopefully they’re smart enough to realize that ratings aren’t all that important now and that anyone with a DVR is just going to watch it when they want anyway.
